...Metheny teams up with two of the hottest young guns on the New York City jazz scene, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Bill Stewart, for a bare-bones blowing session recorded in two days flat. The songs range from no-nonsense blues like Metheny's own (Go) Git It to a feathery bossa nova romp through the harmonic obstacle course of John Coltrane's Giant Steps. The biggest surprise is the old-fashioned show tune A Lot of Livin' to Do, coolly reharmonized in the oblique, quizzical manner of Metheny's idol, the peerless jazz guitarist Jim Hall. Metheny...

'Head on down to the creek if you want to eat that snake.'" The gritty particularity of the snake, the pigs and McCrae's irritation start things off right. It is acceptable for Augustus to be a hero--which he is, flat out--if his stage...
...promo begins with the swell of Coplandesque melodies. The camera pans over spacious skies, over purple mountains' majesty and amber waves of...tobacco. We hear the voice-over of a man, a simple farmer; we'll call him Merle: "Some things jes git better with time..." (more Copelandesque strains) Merle goes on to describe the painstaking process by which the "tobacco smooth enough to be Select" is cultivated and packaged. We follow the camera through Merle's tobacco fields to his barn, where another man cuts and dries the tobacco leaves. The crop will become Wintson Select's "Perfectly Aged...
